I don't understand this Ty lue hype. The guy coached a team with lebron and kyrie to a championship and crashed and burned every year since, yet people talk about him like he's a younger gregg popovich or something
It’s true as you could almost look at him like Doc. I think it’s his teams that make it why he hasn’t gotten back to the finals as the man can coach. So that is why he still gets a pass
That season in 2019 he put up one of the best playoff performances of the last decade. Can't be the worst superstar if you already have 2 rings and 2 finals MVP's.

No, Kareem Abdul Jabar is probably the most notable example, but many players have done it since the beginning of the league when there were only 11 teams.

Why do you think he doesn’t care about winning a ring? Kawhi doesn’t really share his emotions like that but I’m sure he wants to win another ring, it’s just hard when his body breaks down a lot.
Go rewatch his last ring and speech about how everyone was doubting him, the issues with the spurs etc….. that was someone who wanted it and it showed.
How is it that so many “superstars” today can’t play as many games as the stars (Just stars) of the 80s, 9-s, and 2000’s DESPITE the massive progress in sports medicine and healthcare? I think the media is using the term “superstar” too loosely these days for undeserving players just to create hype.
Sir that's not the point of SAS. If he can't play healthy ball, he might retire. But what have we seen? He sign max contracts and after that he is not available. 5 years with no rings, when he was expected to bring one in 2020 already. We need to come to reality, Kawhi is done. LNP
The way this has gone...maybe...maybe the way his teammates called him out in San Antonio...maybe they were right. Maybe he don't love ball the way we all thought...he's just nice at it.
The man isn’t healthy, he plays when he can. You can’t fault him for his body letting him down. The marketability thing is crazy. There are executives, who get paid top dollar to promote the sport. I’m not blaming this man because he doesn’t want to Market the sport. With marketability comes problems. It comes people probing into your personal life. Basically if Tim Duncan wasn’t healthy all the time would he be “the worst superstar”. I hate this God awful take.
It’s not just Kawhi getting free money, PG13% doesn’t show up in the playoffs & has health concerns too, Harden is washy, and Russ was awful. You can get a lot back for PG13%, Russ and Harden.
$14 million a year is really $7 million a year because of the ridiculous taxes in a state that is horrendous as far as the homelessness and most ppl are leaving that state faster than a fart outside on a windy day....and that's Factual 💯
Weird career for this guy.. Was brought up by Pop and Tim Duncan. He was raised in what was the best NBA org in the league.. Won a chip with them and a finals MVP.. Then out of nowhere he quits on the Spurs and forces his way out of town.. Goes to Toronto and is friggin awesome. Best player in the league that season and again wins the chip.. Goes to the Clippers supposedly his dream to be playing in LA and ever since then he has been soft and keeps quitting on his team..
Imagine calling a multiple time WORLD CHAMPION and Finals MVP the worst Superstar ever while they’re propping up guys that haven’t accomplished anything in the careers yet They wanted to make Anthony Edwards the face of the NBA, and he’s never made it to the Conference finals
Darwin Han lost in the first round and got fired while Ty Lue lost in the first round and got an extension. They both got their team to the conference finals once.
SAS is a super hating guy….to be around all that bread, seeing these players get so much money, and not be healthy..but ESPN WORKS HIM LIKE A MULE, for Pennie’s compared to their back. Do sum G…don’t be mad at them.
Finally! Took long enough to have this discussion. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are what Kawhi Leonard and Paul George should have been! I don’t ever want to hear about breaking up JT and JB again unless the Clippers are brought up first 🍀
Spurs fans dodged a HUGE bullet getting rid of Kawhi and not signing him to an absolute albatross super max contract although he still wanted out...we suck now but will become relevant again with the right pieces around Wemby. So in hindsight we really should be thanking him 😂
Kawhi is the new Kyrie for Stephen A
literally what i first thought 😂
Yeah & then he’s gonna apologize to Kawhi in a couple weeks just like he did to Kyrie & Shrekmond Green. Stephen A. Hater should be his name. Kawhi might not talk as much but is respected, but Forehead A. Smith talks too much & is obnoxious & disliked by some athletes

Go rewatch his last ring and speech about how everyone was doubting him, the issues with the spurs etc….. that was someone who wanted it and it showed.
How is it that so many “superstars” today can’t play as many games as the stars (Just stars) of the 80s, 9-s, and 2000’s DESPITE the massive progress in sports medicine and healthcare? I think the media is using the term “superstar” too loosely these days for undeserving players just to create hype.
It’s ridiculous to criticise Kawhi for being injury prone. That’s not something he can control. SAS is a clown.
Sir that's not the point of SAS.
If he can't play healthy ball, he might retire. But what have we seen? He sign max contracts and after that he is not available.
5 years with no rings, when he was expected to bring one in 2020 already.
We need to come to reality, Kawhi is done.

Kawhi Not speaking or showing up for his own Commercial is such a Kawhi Move too 😅
Kawhi's Raptors ring > KD's 2 rings at Golden State.
Can’t deny that 😂
You're only saying that because Load Management help Kawhi stay healthy...
If Kd played, the warriors would have won. Kd was INJURED
@@ohmrdontplay6338And if Zaza didn’t hurt Kawhi, he would’ve won.
Meanwhile Luka out here playing thru a knee injury thats bleeding every game
He's going to be called out then make an apology video saying so and so is his brother and its all love 😂😂😂😂 never ending cycle with this clown
Coaches' salaries aren't a part of the salary cap JWill.
The way this has gone...maybe...maybe the way his teammates called him out in San Antonio...maybe they were right. Maybe he don't love ball the way we all thought...he's just nice at it.
Saying "maybe", just means you're not intelligent enough to make a decision that's correct, since this happened already
He’s nothing but a mascot for the clippers at this point dude should’ve been retired but this is on clippers ownerships infatuation with this guy
The man isn’t healthy, he plays when he can. You can’t fault him for his body letting him down. The marketability thing is crazy. There are executives, who get paid top dollar to promote the sport. I’m not blaming this man because he doesn’t want to
Market the sport. With marketability comes problems. It comes people probing into your personal life. Basically if Tim Duncan wasn’t healthy all the time would he be “the worst superstar”. I hate this God awful take.
Exactly, couldn't agree more with this! The marketability take was so bad!
@@christopherwarburton1889 agreed!
I'm hoping that the Lakers bring on Bronny. It will be the James show and more doom for the Lakers. Gotta love it!
Kawhi is the same as Ben Simmons to me, he just a better player
It’s not just Kawhi getting free money, PG13% doesn’t show up in the playoffs & has health concerns too, Harden is washy, and Russ was awful. You can get a lot back for PG13%, Russ and Harden.
So Embidd is always available???? 9 years and not even a single conference finals. Daymn bruh
"Kay-Whi", AND PG 3 🤣🤣🤣
I agree with SAS. When Kawhi is sitting in the rafters during the clippers playoffs a couple yrs ago that's BS.
Fact that she said PG3 means her take can’t be trusted about moving forward with Kawhi and PG13
$14 million a year is really $7 million a year because of the ridiculous taxes in a state that is horrendous as far as the homelessness and most ppl are leaving that state faster than a fart outside on a windy day....and that's Factual 💯
"Ty Lue is one of bect coaches in the NBA" Do we watch the same league? Hahaha 🤣
Weird career for this guy.. Was brought up by Pop and Tim Duncan. He was raised in what was the best NBA org in the league.. Won a chip with them and a finals MVP.. Then out of nowhere he quits on the Spurs and forces his way out of town.. Goes to Toronto and is friggin awesome. Best player in the league that season and again wins the chip.. Goes to the Clippers supposedly his dream to be playing in LA and ever since then he has been soft and keeps quitting on his team..
Karma is a 🐕

I would never sign kawhi paul george i need players who are gonna be there not clowns who would miss a game for breaking a nail
Why not Brett Favre?
Kawhi is a part time player who makes full time player money.
Straight truth.

Imagine calling a multiple time WORLD CHAMPION and Finals MVP the worst Superstar ever while they’re propping up guys that haven’t accomplished anything in the careers yet
They wanted to make Anthony Edwards the face of the NBA, and he’s never made it to the Conference finals
I have a hard time grasping the fact they think Ty Lue is one of the best coaches. And that he should be paid more???
Darwin Han lost in the first round and got fired while Ty Lue lost in the first round and got an extension. They both got their team to the conference finals once.
SAS is a super hating guy….to be around all that bread, seeing these players get so much money, and not be healthy..but ESPN WORKS HIM LIKE A MULE, for Pennie’s compared to their back. Do sum G…don’t be mad at them.
Finally! Took long enough to have this discussion. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are what Kawhi Leonard and Paul George should have been! I don’t ever want to hear about breaking up JT and JB again unless the Clippers are brought up first 🍀
Spurs fans dodged a HUGE bullet getting rid of Kawhi and not signing him to an absolute albatross super max contract although he still wanted out...we suck now but will become relevant again with the right pieces around Wemby. So in hindsight we really should be thanking him 😂
Man just be yapping and big hater on the brothers..🙌💯
